Denham Springs: Great Schools 3 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) I absolutely love living in Denham Springs, Louisiana. With a population of less than 11,000, this area offers a small-town feel. As a suburb of Baton Rouge, you are close enough to the larger cities to have more options, but have a small community to call home. This is a strong ...Read More community.

Most people here have lived here their entire lives, but yet they welcome you into the area with open arms. The best areas in Denham Springs, Louisiana are the local schools. People actually move here just because they have heard such good things about the education that students receive. Livingston Parish Public Schools operates a great school system.

This area does provide a few store and restaurants that will meet your basic wants. The good thing is that we are so very close to the capital and within a 45-minute drive you can access so much more. The best hospitals, shopping, and dining areas in Louisiana are only a short commute away. So a great community and everything that you need is within a 45-minute drive. Read Less
